This is the first season without manager Rocco Baldelli, who was fired on September 29 after seven seasons, finishing 2025 with a 70–92 record and an overall managerial record of 527–505, which is third all time in wins for the Twins behind only World Series-winning manager Tom Kelly and Ron Gardenhire.[1] Derek Shelton was hired in October to replace Baldelli.[2][3]
